Congratulations to the researchers at the Cincinnati Health Department who identified WIC as an outstanding program for improving the health of women and children. Wholesome and nutritious food choices are something most of us know makes a difference in our health, but the study provides more evidence. WIC makes a difference because of the select list of nutritious foods offered by the program. The foods that women can obtain from WIC are: infant formula, cereal, juice, milk, cheese, eggs, peanut butter, canned tuna, fruits, vegetables and whole grains.
